Studio Work

Winter boredom has dictated that I find some way to occupy myself indoors. This gallery is the answer. I have set up a small studio in the basement, and will be playing around with different techniques over the winter months. The results will be posted here. The lighting setup consists of strobes. I have (1) Canon 550EX, and (3) Vivitar 283's. The Vivitar's are equipped with the Vari-Power modules so that they can be continuously varied from full power down to 1/64th power. The vari-power module allows this to be done in a continuous motion (rather than click-stops), which gives you infinite power settings. If you see something you like, please COMMENT... better yet COMMENT AND VOTE!!! :o)

If you have a question about any of the techniques you see here, please do not hesitate to ask. I have no problem sharing what little I know.

Thanks for stopping by!

The pictures are great and the techniques you used are great too. What is the meter readings for your studio work when you take photographs of your images?
It is also a very artistic work!

An interesting and well done gallery. It seems that we had the same idea to keep the winter bordome away, I recently posted a similar gallery at http://www.pbase.com/parrothouse/liquidabstracts
